The Nici offers a memorable experience, especially with its prime location right by the beach, enabling easy access to the pier. Guests often appreciate the spa facilities and the outdoor pool. Though some have noted that the outdoor pool area can feel a bit small relative to the hotel size, many enjoyed the gym, the delicious food in the South Beach restaurant, and rooms that feature balconies overlooking the pool.

small pool areaterrace inattentiveness
The outdoor pool area felt cramped. IT seemed too small considering HOW many guests the hotel holds. I also found the lack of attentiveness on the terrace frustrating. We waited almost thirty minutes before having to find someone OURSELVES to take our order. I didn't expect that.

amazing experience!

great staffvaried menuexpensive parking
the staff were amazing, polite, and helpful. the outside pool with green tiles facing the ocean reminded me of miami. the menu was varied and very tasty. the seafood cocktail was amazing!!!
the car park charged £27 per night. finding alternative parking was difficult, as side streets required permits. i was frustrated by the added expense and lack of convenient options.

the hotel offers easy access to the pier and shaded walks down to the beach. a general shop sits nearby if you need anything. i also saw an italian restaurant and a chippy just a minute away.
